All-Time Leading Hitlers

The United States believes that it has the right to interfere in the affairs of any country for any reason. Comparisons to Nazi Germany aren’t apt, because the Nazis would’ve never had the gall to claim that nuclear proliferation on the Korean or Indian peninsulas was any of their business.

All this requires a well-oiled propaganda machine to convince the boobs that they’re out fighting for freedom. And, of course, the standard way of saying that the dictator you want to demonize is evil is to say that he is “like Hitler.” I searched for the following phrases in Google with quotation marks to see which government heads are the leading Hitlers.
